To escape the stress of everyday life, a citizen's benefit recipient travels to the Baltic Sea to relax.
She now even wants to buy a scooter for this.
Warnemünde – In the RTL2 program “Hartz und cordial” several recipients of citizens’ benefit are accompanied in their everyday lives.
One of them is Sandra in Rostock.
Life in the Hanseatic city can quickly become hectic for the citizen's benefit recipient with six children and three grandchildren.
Nevertheless, the 40-year-old always tries to please her family.
At the beginning of February she had the opportunity to show viewers how she occasionally treats herself to a break: in a holiday paradise on the Baltic Sea.
You can even occasionally see dolphins there.
A mother of several reports about her trips to the Baltic Sea at “Hartz und Herzen”.
Sandra originally comes from the small town of Rathenow in Brandenburg, but now she lives just a few kilometers from Warnemünde, a town on the Baltic Sea coast.
As she explained in the February edition of the show, she mainly uses her short trips to the coast to look for small treasures.
Despite strong winds and clouds, she ventures into the water with rubber boots up to her calves and looks for, among other things, mussels.
She is particularly happy when she finds amber.
Amber, which shimmers yellowish-brown in the sun and looks like small gemstones, is actually drops of resin, some of which solidified millions of years ago and turned into stone.
Amber can also be found on the Baltic Sea, often in combination with algae.
“Once I had a huge carpet of algae,” the 40-year-old proudly remembers on the show.
She sat there for hours and fished countless of these gemstones out of the seaweed.
“Although only small ones, they were amber,” she adds.

Collecting amber as a hobby – the citizen’s benefit recipient enjoys spending time in nature
The hobby collector also reports that “some cut glass” can also be found.
This is often a good omen, at least in her experience.
“If I had cut glass, I also had amber.” Sandra uses the vacation spot several times a month to relax and pursue her hobby.
“Personally, it’s good for me to be outside.
That's why, even in the winter, when my husband is at home, I spend a lot of time outside," she explains.
In order to be able to spend more time outdoors and go on more trips in the future, the 40-year-old plans to buy her own scooter soon.
So far she has only used her husband's.
Now she longs for one of her own.
Despite the family's financial constraints, this seems to be feasible.
“He has installments of just under 50 euros per month and that’s fine,” says Sandra.
